Questions and Responses

Question: I don’t understand why Bill Johnson and Bethel Church in Redding are not classified as a cult....They are false teachers and wolves in sheep’s clothing. What do you think?

Question: Can you please explain the difference between a sect and a cult?

Question: I've come across something that's been called the "Sacred Name Movement," and I'm curious...

Question: In your March newsletter you blasted Kenneth Copeland, John Wimber and the Vineyard churches, the Toronto blessing, the Pensacola revival, Benny Hinn, [etc. Do you] see them all in the same light?

Question: Could you address this [enclosed audio tape by Tom Van Asperen] sometime in the near future in your newsletter?

Question: This may sound like a strange question, but what can you tell me about a low-profile, nameless religious group which hold its meetings in members’ homes and rented halls? The ministers are pairs of homeless itinerants known as “workers.”

Question: I get confused between cults and occults and can never remember the difference between them. Could you please explain it for me?

Question: ...Don’t you think you have expended more time and effort in dealing with the issue of Roman Catholicism than is warranted? Shouldn’t you “lay off” for a while?

Question: How far is one obligated to go in explaining what the Word means to those who have been led astray? In my own experience, nothing anyone could tell me would have made any difference until God himself opened my heart.
